UniProt functional annotation for Q72GS1

UniProt code: Q72GS1.

Organism: Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC BAA-163 / DSM 7039 / HB27).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.
 
Function: Forms part of the ribosomal stalk, playing a central role in the interaction of the ribosome with GTP-bound translation factors. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00362}.
 
Subunit: Part of the ribosomal stalk of the 50S ribosomal subunit. The N-terminus interacts with L11 and the large rRNA to form the base of the stalk. The C-terminus forms an elongated spine to which L12 dimers bind in a sequential fashion forming a multimeric L10(L12)X complex. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00362}.
Similarity: Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL10 family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00362}.
